Does Your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sierra 2500 HD jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Sierra 2500 HD suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sierra 2500 HD steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC Sierra 2500 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn GMC Sierra 2500 HD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my GMC's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Sierra 2500 HD? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my GMC Sierra 2500 HD power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 2500 HD bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sierra 2500 HD to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sierra 2500 HD's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my GMC Sierra 2500 HD need replacing? Worn Sierra 2500 HD shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sierra 2500 HD might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sierra 2500 HD shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
